isanualt anu tHt - appropriations
MIR. RandalPs notions OF economy in
appropriations does not meet with the ap-
proval Of many OF the department officials.
He acts upon the belief that he knows
more about The wants of the departments
than those In charge Of them do, and he
does not hesitate to make reductions in
the estimates without inQuiring whether
they can be safely made.
The estimates OF the Treasury Depart
ment, for instance, for the next fiscal
year for furniture and repairs for public
buildings are $306, 900. Mr.. Randall in
sisted that $12j,000 was enough, and that
was the amount Of the appropriation for
the objects above named which the APP
preparations Committee put in the sundry
civil bill.
The Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury has submitted letter to that COM
mittee, in which he points out the impos-
sibility Of getting along upon the amount
in the bill. He shows that fifteen new
public buildings will be completed within
year, and that they alone, without
taking into consideration the repairs TO
old buildings and the demand for new
furniture Tor them, will require $4,000
for furnishing purposes.
No doubt Dir. Randall means we'll, but
be Is so anxious to commend himself to
popular favor, with the hope, doubtless,
Of being selected as the next Presidential
candidate of his party, that he is trying to
seek popularity by making a reputation
f1- . -,
ever, whether he isn't doing himself more
harm than good. Mr.. FaIrchild show 8
very clearly that the whole amount
asked for, $500, 600, is absolutely needed,
and il is probable that the bill will be
amended in accordance with the Assis-
tant Secretary's views. A reputation for
economy is not made by Withholding ap-
preparations for objects authorized by
law, ana which are absolutely necessary.
The extravaganza condemned Is that
which is unreasonable and for which
there Is nothing 70 show for the money
spent.
There are some who think that Mr..
Randall, as be grows older, becomes
more irritable and dlctatorial. 1t is not
improbable that the fact that Mr.. Hol-
man is called ''The Watch Dog Of the
Treasury" and the "Great Objector''
worries him. He is certainly making a
bold effort to secure the reputation of
beiGg the most jealous guardian of the
Treasury there is in Congress. In order
20 be a success, however, he must dis
eriminate wisely between appropriations
that are mere waste of public money
and those which are absolutely needed
for the benefit of the public service.

Bayard at Home and at Work.

Washington Letter TO the Kansas City Times
Some have called upon Secretary Bayard
and have failed to get along with him. main
ly, fancy, because they did not know that
the secretary was somewhat deaf. The deaf
ness rufiies the Secretary's temper a good
deal and causes great deal of annoyance to
those who do not know of it. When he twists
his face IN au impatient and agoniZed way
and asks you What do you say" It looks at
first glance rather as IL he didsnot enjoy your
company or your conversation. In fact
you might be excused for supposing that you
made him tired," yet probably 1t Is all
misunderstanding because you do not know
that he is deaf. And his deafness, to GER
tain extent, accounts for his seclusion, which
some people dislike so much. Mr.. Bayard is
a hard and constant worker. He goes down
to his office every morning at O'Clock, and
he seldom leaves for home before o'clock in
the afternoon. In the middle of the day he
sends Onusepger out to Wards dairy for
glass OF milk SnI-biscuit. That Is the only
meal he takes bGrv%len morning BREAKFAST
and evening dinner.
He hardly ever laughs and never really
cracks S Joke. When he talks IL Is ALWAYS
with an air of restraint and responsibility.
What he prides himself on most is his superb
orlty TO other men in being better acquainted
with books. / remember the night Gen.
Logan died. | called on Secretary Bayard at
his residence, which is an old-fashioned
brick house built on very high terrace on
Massachusetts, avenue. Considering it is a
residence In the centre Of the city, there is
quito largo garden in front, and In the sum
mer evenings II 10 the Secretary's custom to
sit with his family in the large front porch,
engaged sometimes in conversation, but
more generally in reading. On the evening
after l,ogan's death, when called on Secre-
tary Bayard he bad a book IN his hand-one
OF the latest new books, and ] remember his
sneer at Logan's lack Of culture. He wrinkled
his brow and labored his face in way which
indicated that he had difficulty In finding
words TO express his idea OF Logan's deplor-
able titoracy. "He was q man of passion"
said he. rather than OF reflection. He was
not ut all man OF learning or man of books
-altho ugh twlth sarcastic smile) believe
he wrote one" Secretary RAyard is not one
of those who. like Fairchlld. the Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury always put on full
dress TO dine. When he dimes out, or when
he has guests at home. he dresses in swallow
tail, but for his ordinary evening at home he
dons short quilted-jacket. which Is both
warm and comfortable and neat. / fear,
though, must admit that il Is too short for
great dignity. Bismarck Is Bayard's favorite
statesman, and photographs of Bismarck are
set up on the mantel and all around the front
harlPr OF H.. BaEard's manson.

Negro Balls in Paris.

This month a reigning social sensation IS a
series OF negro balls. They are under the
patronage OF several ladies OF noble blood
from Zanzibar ana Ethiopia. The dark
hued contingent of Partisan society Is
numerous one, and contains many iamlheS OF
rank and wealth. So you must believe inst
The supposition is that only persons OF negro
blood are invited. AS matter of TACT, now
ever, nearly half of these are white. But an
such have TO stan their faces Diack Ior the
time being. These disguised revelers are per-
sons OF the best standing in French society.
Indeed, no less personages than Prince val
demar and his brre, Amelia dOrleans,
attended the first of the series. Inelr races
were stained a rich brown, so that they
looked like rather dark quadroons. several
cavaliers of the Due de Morney's set attend
all these gatherings with their hands ana
faces dyed, and with wool wigs over their
natural hair

A Fraternal Tribute.

From, the Omaha World.
Brother Ned
Is home from college,
And his head
SO full of knowledge
Is that really us an effort to adjust his
Derby hat.
Full of boating, full of racing,
Full of base ball, steeplechaslng,
Boxing, foot ball, hare and hounds,
Putting up the monstrous bell weighing many,
many pounds,
And all that.
He can leap,
And he can tumble;
In his sleep
He talks oil tumble"
''Ha back" ''touch down." "cushion
caroms." "sets-to," going out on
strike"
"Umpre's ruling" ''even innings"
Exc his Coney Island winnings,
And he's followed by pup
That at any time can go against Its weight
and do it up,
Ifit like.
Such is Ned.
My cultured brother;
College bred,
There's sure, none other
Can compete with him in classios-such as
wild Olympian games.
He's boxer, he's a runner,
He's short stop, he's sumner,
Always leading. never led,
Is my short-haired, noseless, earless, broken
fingered brother Ned.
He is Fame's.

He Hardly Required Assistance.

From the Wilmington Post.
A lady was sitting in a heroic next the box
for fares, when gentleman got IN and LOOK
a seat opposite. In selecting piece OF money
to pay his fare he took handful OF silver
from his pocket and laid it on the seat beside
him while he picked out nickel. Then the
lady noticed that he had but one arm. Her
tender heart was all sympathy instantly, and
she pictured to herself that gallant man on
the field Of battle, giving his arm In the defense
of his country. "Poor fellow" thought she,
II VIII put his fare in for him, for he would
not be able to balance himself in case OF one
of the innumerable lurches OF the coach occa-
stoned by the ruts which the Commissioners
seem too poor to fill up. Gentlemen are
always polite about such things, and surely
this is a case where a lady may exercise her
politeness without seeming to be forward"
so. suiting the action to the thought. she ex-
tended her hand for the nickel. The geutle-
man dropped the same into her EXTENDED
palm, and with deXterty that would nave
done credit to man with half dozen arms,
managed TO squeeze her hand at the same
time.
And now that lady declares that hence
forth and forever, as far as she is concerned,
every son OF Adam may deposit his own fare
even if he has no arms and has to pass 1t up
with his teeth.

A member of the Wisconsin LegIsIa-
ture, whose name is not disclosed, has
fallen a victim to the old sawdust game.
He contracted to pay $500 for $500 of
counterfeit money, to be sent to him, well
boxed, by express. When he opened the
box he found it filled with sawdust. This
was just punishment for would-be
swindler. The Wisconsin Legislature
ought now to expel him without delay.
Such rascal has no business among law
makers.

The Washington Post says that Rev.
DR.. Domer preached a very interesting
sermon at st. Paups English Lutheran
Church on Sunday night in that city.
Among other things, he said: "If Moody
and Sankey were sent to hell the first
thing they would do would be to organIz 9
a revival meeting" AS the two Georgia
revivalists, Sam Small and the Rev. Sam
Jones, are as earnest in the good work
as Moody and Sankey, it is reasonable to
suppose that if they were sent there they
too would start a revival at once, what
ever the temperature might be.

There is a Boston man who is entitled
to the cake for finding ways to saddle a
new lot of office-holders on the people.
His name is Edward Stanwood, and he
has introduced into the Massachusetts
Legislature a bill providing for the
appointment of an agent at Washington
for each Congressional district to relieve
Congressman from giving so much time
to department work and to showing their
constituents about Washington. In a
memorial which accompanies the bill it is
stated that at present nearly all the time
in the forenoon is occupied frequently by
Congressman In doing the errands OF their
constituents. The result is seen in the
growing impotence of Congress. One
feature of his bill was that it prevented
the agents from exercising political
power. According to the bill the agent
is to have $4,000 year, to reside in Wash
ington, and to hold office for ten years.
If people want somebody in Washington
10 attend TO their business, then they
ought to pay the expense out of their
own pockets. Those who are benefited
ought to pay the bill. 1t is unjust to
make those who have no use for a Wash
ington agent pay for one.
